BESTMASTERS STUDIES WITH A LIQUID ARGON TIME ...

Michael Schenk evaluates new technologies and methods  such as cryogenic read-out electronics
and a UV laser system  developed to optimise the performance of large liquid argon time
projection chambers (LArTPC). Amongst others  the author studies the uniformity of the electric
field produced by a Greinacher high-voltage generator operating at cryogenic temperatures 
measures the linear energy transfer (LET) of muons and the longitudinal diffusion coefficient
of electrons in liquid argon. The results are obtained by analysing events induced by
cosmic-ray muons and UV laser beams. The studies are carried out with ARGONTUBE  a prototype
LArTPC in operation at the University of Bern  Switzerland  designed to investigate the
feasibility of drift distances of up to five metres for electrons in liquid argon.
